June 2019 Android Security Update Goes Live for Pixel Devices

A fresh month of June kicked off over the weekend, so that means Google was preparing to release the June 2019 Android security patch for Pixel devices. They have now done just that and we already have both factory image and OTA files ready to be downloaded for those willing to do some manual labor, or as always, you can sit back and wait for the update to arrive over-the-air (OTA) to your device. We’ve got our first Pixel 3a updates too!

So far, we are seeing new 9.0.0 files for Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL(PQ3A.190605.004.A1), Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL (PQ3A.190605.003), and Pixel and Pixel XL (PQ3A.190605.003). The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL’s first update arrives as build PQ3B.190605.006. The Pixel C picked up a new 8.1.0 build as version OPM8.190605.003.
